MA, LPC, NCC, C-TGM

Welcome! My name is Aleeza Zocchi and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Owner of Maypop Counseling. I have been a practicing counselor for ten years. I grew up in Denver as a fifth generation Coloradan! Taking interest in mental health, and neurodivergence as I attended a school for kids with learning differences. I became interested at an early age in how individuals perceive the world around them and how they overcome obstacles through resiliency.

I went on to get my undergraduate in Psychology, and later my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with a specialization  in Child and Adolescent Play Therapy from University of Northern Colorado (UNC), graduating in 2020. During my time at UNC, I conducted research, joining a psych lab investigating the effects of adverse childhood experiences on learning outcomes in college age students. During my time conducting studies and running statistical analysis, I became more interested in the research-side of Psychology.

I worked at a large private practice in Denver gaining experience for over ten years working with children and teens with neurodivergence. I ran social skill development groups and summer intensive groups for over five years. I worked as a Clinical Intake Coordinator holding intakes with individuals and families, and connecting them with therapeutic providers for four years. Concurrently, I was working one-on-one in a clinical setting with individuals with Eating Disorders and Bi-Polar.

In 2025, I became trained in the Game To Grow method of Therapeutically Applied, Table-Top Role Playing Games. Learning how to incorporate games such as Dungeons and Dragons into a therapeutic setting.  This contributed to my enjoyment in finding creative outlets, such as RPGs or drawing, in therapy as I don’t believe the traditional face-to-face talk therapy approach is for everyone. I operate in therapy with the belief that resiliency and fostering self-acceptance and compassion, is the baseline needed for long-term growth.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature with my husband and Aussie Pup-Ollie, hiking, camping, and fly fishing. I enjoy creative outlets such as pottery, board games, and role-playing games.
